A) 35 years

B) 42 years

C) 49 years

D) 28 years

E) 56 years

Solution 1: C)

Let the present ages of Mohit and Sohit are 3x years and 4x years, respectively.

So the present age of Rohit = 1.50 × 4x = 6x years

According to question: (3x + 1)/ (6x – 3) = 5/9

27x + 9 = 30x – 15

3x = 24, x = 8

So the present age of Sohit = 8 × 4 = 32 years

Hence, option c.

Solution 2: E)

Let present age of Ram and Shyam be P years and Q years respectively.

According to question,

(P – 4)/(Q – 4) = 13/15

15P – 60 = 13Q – 52

15P – 13Q = 8………………….(1)

And, (P + 4)/(Q + 4) = 15/17

17P + 68 = 15Q + 60

15Q – 17P = 8…………………..(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2), we get

P = 56 and Q = 64

Average present age of Ram and Shyam = (56 + 64)/2 = 120/2 = 60 years

Hence, option e.

Solution 3: D)

Let present age of father and son be F and S.

According to question,

F – 5 = 2 × (S – 5)

F – 5 = 2S – 10

F = 2S – 5…………………………….(1)

(F + 15)/(S + 15) = 8/5

5F + 75 = 8S + 120

5F = 8S + 45

5 × (2S – 5) = 8S + 45

10S – 25 = 8S + 45

2S = 70

S = 35 years

F = 70 – 5 = 65 years

Desired average = (65 + 35)/2 = 50 years

Hence, option d.

Solution 4: A)

Let present age of Avantika and Anamika be X years and Y years respectively.

According to question,

(X – 6) = (Y – 6) – 12

X = Y – 12…………………………….(1)

And, (X + 12)/(Y + 12) = 3/4

4X + 48 = 3Y + 36

Putting value of X from equation (1)

4 × (Y – 12) + 48 = 3Y + 36

4Y – 48 + 48 = 3Y + 36

Y = 36 years

X = 24 years

Desired Average = (36 + 24)/2 = 30 years

Hence, option a.

Solution 5: D)

Let present age of Garima and Yogesh be 5x years and 6x years respectively.

According to question,

[(5x + 6) + (6x + 6)]/2 = 28

11x + 12 = 56

11x = 44

x = 4

Desired ratio = (5x – 8):(6x – 8) = 12:16 = 3:4

Hence, option d.

Solution 6: A)

Let the present age of A and B be ‘x’ years and ‘y’years respectively.

(x – 6 + y – 6)/2 = 30

x + y – 12 = 60

x + y = 72 —–(i)

(x + 4)/(y + 4) = 9/11

11x + 44 = 9y + 36

11x – 9y = -8 —–(ii)

On solving (i) and (ii), we get

x = 32 and y = 40

So, B’s present age is 40 years.

Hence, option a.

Solution 7: A)

Let the present ages of Akash and Itij be 7x years and 5x years, respectively.

So, the present age of Gaurav = 7x – 3 years

Present age of Priya = 5x + 5 years

According to question: 7x + 5x + 7x – 3 + 5x + 5 = 4 × 24.5

24x + 2 = 98

24x = 96

x = 4

So, the present ages of Priya, Gaurav, Akash and Itij are 25 years, 25 years, 28 years and 20 years respectively.

So, the desired ratio = 25:25 = 1:1

Hence, option a.

Solution 8: D)

Age of Goli 4 years ago = 29 – 4 = 25 years

Present age of Bholi = 7/5 × 25 + 4 = 39 years

Required ratio = (29 + 6)/(39 + 6) = 35:45 = 7:9

Hence, option d.

Solution 9: B)

Let present age of Varsha and Rimjhim be V years and R years

According to question,

(V – 8) = (R – 8) + 10

V = R + 10………………………………(1)

(V + 12)/(R + 12) = 5/4

4V + 48 = 5R + 60

4V = 5R + 12

Putting value of V from equation (1)

4R + 40 = 5R + 12

R = 28 years.

V = 38 years

Desired ratio = (38 + 2):(28 + 2) = 40:30 = 4:3

Hence, option b.

Solution 10: B)

Let, ages of Dinesh and Santosh be ‘5x’ years and ‘7x’ years, respectively.

So, 7x – 5x = 12

2x = 12

x = 6

Present age of Santosh = 7 × 6 = 42 years

Hence, option b.
